Smoothie Power!

With the change in weather, we thought it was time to get fit and ready for the summer. We started off our beach diet shooting with the great a client to get some healthy and tasty images into their cafes. All of the smoothies were delicious and gave us the energy to power through and create great pictures all day long! See below for a few of the final ads;

Back on the Ice

The Bruins drop the puck tonight to kick off their run for the Stanley Cup, so we wanted to share the photo shoot we did with the Ice Girls. When the NHL lockout ended, we skated into high gear on short notice to get everything ready. Fortunately, we knew the drill as we did the Bruins and Ice Girls team shoot the season before at the TD Garden. Enjoy and Let’s Go Bruins! Boston STRONG!

Brit Gets Stuck on Boston

Recently we were contacted for a photo shoot with the fabulous Brit Morin of  Brit +Co and her new partner Velcro Industries. With Brit flying in from San Francisco and the shoot scheduled just days away, we swiftly moved into production with a great crew to create an entire set made of VELCRO® Brand.  The shoot went flawlessly and the client was thrilled with the results, as was Brit. Look for her on the Velcro Industries site throughout the year, especially during the 2013 Holidays!

Harlem Shake – Maxi-Cosi Style!

We thought we would add our own version of the Harlem Shake meme with a little help from our good friends at Maxi-Cosi. The concept of revealing their newest infant car seat had us shooting many images of the fabric in mid flight. Have a look at the video and final ads below.

Paris to the Carribean and Back

As promised, here is the second installment of the ads we created with our friends at AAA. It was a fun challenge to set-up a pool in sub freezing temperatures, assemble a 1000 piece puzzle and navigate through the crowd at Gillette stadium during a Patriots game.  We are always willing to go the extra mile  to have a happy and satisfied client at the end of the day!

City Lights – Boston Interactive Leadership Photo

  Our friends at Boston Interactive contacted us to shoot an updated look of their leadership team. After a few creative calls we wanted to do something that reflected their vibrant and fast paced image as well as show they were based in Boston, and more accurately Charlestown. We packed up and headed to Paul Revere Park and spent an afternoon scouting to find the best angle of the Zakim Bridge for the photo. After shooting well into the early evening we made some great images and had a fun time doing  it too!20121098_BostonInteractive_FinalFeb26

The whole team – Reservoir Dogs style – pack smart phones, not 45′s!

Dreaming of a Winter Vacation

Now that we have dug ourselves out from the blizzard of 2013 here in Boston, it seems fitting that we start fantasizing about going on a warm vacation. We were contacted by the creative team at AAA to make a series of images that would transform you from the routine of everyday to a place you would rather be. Here are the first two in the series with more to come!

Earthkeepers for Timberland

We were really blown away with how our client, Timberland, used our photography from a recent shoot in the design of their rustic, moody catalog.  Take some time to check out a few pieces from the latest Earthkeepers Collection below; we hope you feel as inspired as we did after this shoot!  (Special thanks to Mari Quirk who provided some amazing surfaces for this shoot.)

Cumberland Farms – Surprises Around Every Corner

Only three weeks into the new year and things are already “snowballing” here at the studio, so we wanted to share a the 3rd in a series of Cumberland Farms winter ads.  We had a lot of fun creating this shot on set, and hope the behind-the-scenes are as entertaining for you as the day was for us.
